Abstract
THE analysis of many samples of blood by both the ultracentrifugal1 and by Cohn's micro-method 10 (ref. 2) has led us to observe that the cholesterol in the β-lipo-protein fraction (I + II + III) exceeds that in the low-density fraction (d < 1.063 g/ml.) of the same plasma, by an average of 17 mg/100 ml. plasma (0–35 mg per cent). Moreover, the ‘high density’ cholesterol-level (HDL) was greater than that of the α-lipoproteins by a corresponding amount (Table 1).
